CURTAIN-FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,442, dated June 28, 1898. f

Application filed November 22, 1897i Serial No. 659,497. (No model.)

T0 all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JUSTIN B. BULLIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ann Arbor, in the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention consists in the construction lof a curtain-fixture, and particularly in the my invention; and Fig. 2 is a topplan view thereof, partly in section.

In the present state of the art it is well known that curtain-poles, such as A, may be bent at the ends, with the extensions B, to project to the wall, and over which the rings C' are adapted to move. Such poles, however, as heretofore constructed have no end finish and do not have the pleasing effect of poles which (as has been usual in straightV poles) have an end ornament or extension beyond the curtain.

By my invention I am enabled to have the curved ends turning in to the wall and yet have the end ornament inline with the pole.

I have shown a pole A as made of metal, the arm B, also of metal, preferably cast, bent, or curved at the outer end into line with the pole and provided with a sleeve D, preferably screw-threaded on a head on the arm B and adapted to be adjusted longitudinally thereon to engage with the ends of the pole to secure the pole to the arm, and thus form, in edect, a straight pole with inwardly-extending securing-arms, over which the rings are adapted to be moved. At the ends of the arms B are any securing means, preferably the plates F.

C are end extensions arranged substantially in line with the pole and supported in such position by' arms, such as G, which I I do not wish to be limited thereto, asI believe I am the iirst to support a false end extension to an outstanding curtain-pole having curved ends which allows free movement of the rings and gives the appearance of a straight pole.

By the words free from the pole in the claims, referring tothe false ,end pieces, I mean supported so that the rings may pass between the pole and the end piece.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination with a curtain -pole having inwardly-extending supporting-arms at the ends forming continuations of the pole over which the rings are adapted to be moved, of false end pieces supported free from the pole and in the line of the pole proper, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a curtain -pole having inwardly-extending supporting-arms at the ends forming continuations of the pole over which the rings are adapted to be moved, and a securing-plate at the end of these arms, of false end pieces in line with the pole proper,

- but separated therefrom to allow of the passage of the rings between, and arms projecting froln the securing-plate supporting said false end pieces.

3. In a curtain fixture, the combination with the curtain-pole having the curved ends for the purpose described, of the arms G extending out beside the curved arms of the pole and the false end pieces C forming apparent end extensions of the pole, projecting on both sides of the arms Gr,l forthe purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
